We strive to give our clients the best possible experience in a clean environment and leave here with a quality custom tattoo that you will love forever. If you have any questions or concerns about our policies, please call the studio and ask to speak to a manager.

-We are an ALL DISPOSABLE studio! What does this mean?Some tattoo studios re-use their steel tubes. Even though an autoclave is used and the tubes are scrubbed clean before sterilization, it has been proven that skin fragments may still be present in the steel tubes even after cleaning and sterilizing.

-The other option is to use plastic, completely disposable tubes. Each plastic tube is pre-sterilized and packaged, and thrown away in a bio-hazard bin for disposal after every single use! They are NEVER re-used which eliminates any possibility of skin fragment debris.

-Also, everyone at our studio holds a Blood Borne Pathogen certificateand is trained and certified in BBP/cross contamination procedures to eliminate risk. Our bio-hazard trash is picked up by US BIOCLEAN and is cataloged and disposed of properly by Health Department standards.More info below:

SHOP POLICIES:

-We do NOT tattoo under 18 under ANY circumstance.You must be 18 or older and have a STATE ISSUED I.D. or passport/State Issued Photo I.D. to get tattooed. A birth certificate and school I.D. are not valid.

-We do not allow children in our studio. If your child is 12 or older, they may sit in our reception area WITH adult supervision. Please understand that our artists are creating custom, permanent designs and having young children in the studio is not safe and does not create a comfortable environment for artists and clients getting tattooed. If you plan on getting tattooed please find a babysitter prior to your appointment. Thank you for your understanding on this matter.

-Touch up policy: Touch ups must be done within the first 3 months of healing. One free touch up is granted per tattoo, per artist (by the original artist) and will only be complimentary if the tattoo was healed properly. The tattoo must have originally been done at our studio. If it has been longer than 3 months or the tattoo was not properly healed, a charge will be added. Also, if you are adding items or changing colors, that is not considered a touch up. You will be charged accordingly.

- We do not allow pets in the studio due to the safety and cleanliness of our studio and for those clients with allergies.

Thank you

AFTERCARE:

- Leave bandage on overnight. 3-4 Hours minimum- When you remove the bandage, wash tattoo gently with warm water and anti-bacterial soap (Dial) removing all plasma and excess ink. Do not re-bandage.- Pat tattoo dry with a clean paper towel. Do NOT rub or wipe especially when peeling begins. With clean hands,apply a thin coat of unscented, low alcohol lotion 2-3 x per day. We recommend Aveeno, Lubriderm or Curel Lotion.- NO vaseline, cocoa butter or petroleum based ointments!- Peeling and light scabbing may occur.Let flakes fall off naturally. Do NOT pick or scratch your new tattoo.- Average healing time is 2 weeks. Do NOT swim in chlorinted/salt water, jucuzzi for at least 2 weeks. Also, avoid excessive sun exposure during this time. Any questions please call!

TATTOO PRICING:

- We do not give pricing/quotes over the phone!- Consultations are always free. - Rates vary depending on size and detail of your design. It is best to set up a consultation to get an accurate estimate for a tattoo.- Once you and your artist decide on an idea/design a drawing fee or appointment deposit will be required. Deposits are deducted from the final price or session and are NON- Refundable.- Our shop minimum is $60 and goes up from there.- Hourly rates are for bigger projects and range depending on artist. Hourly rates range from $125-150/hr.Most likely, if your tattoo is a one-session project we will give you a flat price instead of an hourly rate.
